From AudioFile:

For the farmer, there's nothing to appreciate about a pesky fox stealing poultry from the henhouse. But for the fox's kits� there's nothing like the triumphant return of dad with food to the den, and for the listener there's nothing like Tom Chapin performing this well-loved folk song. As narrator, Chapin is direct and unobtrusive as he lets Peter Spier's award-winning illustrations share the story. Background music is light, and well-selected sound effects heighten the setting. Chapin's music brings animation and pleasure. The fox's step is quick and light; Mother Giggle Gaggle is indignant; the hunting horns, majestic; and the feast, resplendent. Children will enjoy the "quack, quack, quack" and "bones-o, bones-o" refrains. A.R. � AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine-- Copyright � AudioFile, Portland, Maine
